Humm, I wonder what county that is, low population. The rural vote is going to be the toughest in MT, we have good organization in the larger towns.

I heard there will only be around 1000-1600 total votes in MT.

[Pauls' Revere]

goes to show that stumping in states that are largely ignored can pay off. Delegates is delegates anyway you slice it.

[Ex Post Facto]

Sweet.

[Gadsden Flag]

With so few votes, it's possible that a family of 5 all voted at once and so their votes are stacked together. It could easily change later.

I hope not though.

[whutaboutbob]

I knew that I lived there for a reason several years ago...

FREEDOM catch some!!

[kill the banks]

i'd like the declare it official but thx !

Well if the rest of Rural MT votes the same way as this precinct, we'll be in really good shape for the whole state. :D

[Redmenace]

The low votes are because only precinct committeepeople can vote.

[fairverona]

With 1.8% reporting, isn't it about time for CNN to call Montana for RP? ;)

Please Montana for love of all that good pull these damn things plugs.

[Redmenace]

Please Montana for love of all that good pull these damn things plugs.

The Republican Caucuses are hand tallied. Mainly because even the most populous counties will only have a few hundred votes to count.

[Jobarra]

I guarantee you if he wins Montana and the MSM talks about it at all, they will say it is because of 'militia' members and other unsavory characters(by THEIR definition).

[JordanQ72]

Wow, and I thought no one lived in Wyoming.

[homah]

I'm calling it now, according to my projections. Montana goes to Dr. Paul.

[UNC08]

Ticker on MSNBC shows a much different story.

[ronpauleddy]

MSNBC has Rommney at 36% McCain 30% with 5% in???

[UNC08]

AOL is showing the same as MSNBC now.

[NCMarc]

funny, no numbers for Georgia and that's all CNN is focusing on and already called for Osama...

Meanwhile, Ron Paul is winning Montana, no mention. haha

[nate895]

MSNBC has Rommney at 36% McCain 30% with 5% in???

That isn't right considering that this is the only one that has ended.

[raiha]

Thats only one precinct out of 56 aint it?

[Shed]

Less than two percent of the state's votes. Too early to call, obv, but glad to see some liberty-lovers :) .

[Jobarra]

That isn't right considering that this is the only one that has ended.
Yeah, according to a news story at that same site, only 2 counties will have voted by now. All the other counties vote tonight. Apparently the Paul campaign made more contact efforts than all the other campaigns combined in Montana.

[Ayse]

Currently in 3rd with 5% in.

LOL! Hell ya I'm moving to Montana if RP wins...The real 'Live Free or Die' state!:D

[Pauls' Revere]

Can HQ post results on the website?
www.ronpaul2008.com???

[Gadsden Flag]

Is Montana the state with 18 as a drinking age? They lowered it despite losing federal highway funding.

Or is that Wyoming?

[kirkblitz]

mormons cheat

[Pauls' Revere]

Please Montana...for the love of God, Guns, and Guts!

[kickzman]

Crap looks like Diebold is kicking in><

[Danny Molina]

Not anymore. Romney is winning.

Huckabee
11.36%

Keyes
0.00%

McCain
29.55%

Paul
22.73%

Romney
36.36%

[Jobarra]

So if the trend of about 15 votes per county holds up, 840 Montanans will decide where 25 delegates go? Man, I need to move to Montana. That's the best place to get your vote heard for a Republican primary apparently :p

It doens't matter...They won't talk about it.

Only party precinct people get to vote in Montana.

It's a caucus, but works more like a convention.

[Ex Post Facto]

Odd it went up to 8% reporting and only Romney/McCain got votes. Must be a pretty brainwashed county.

[Ex Post Facto]

Lol now it's down to 7% reporting.

[Ex Post Facto]

Okay, back to 8%
